WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS SHOW?
Named in honour of the original cybernetic sculpture by Edward Ihnatowicz, Senster is a live show that's packed with curiosities - from theremins and waterphones to the sonic tendril and digital swarm.
This highly entertaining 75-minute event mixes live music and drama with the group's own take on robotics and digital art.
Discover more about the original Senster and artificial life as you experience musicians, robots and projections responding live to a strange story, unfolding on the stage.
The live show will be followed by a short discussion with the developers - and a chance to play with the theremins and digital art from the show.
